Committee for Graphic Arts Technologies Standards (CGATS) Roster (2020)

SCOPE The purpose of CGATS is to support and foster standards in the graphic arts industry. To do so, the Committee must first identify areas where standards are needed. It will accomplish this task by identifying those standards presently in place and those under development. This resulting voids will be areas where CGATS will investigate the need for standards and establish technical committees should a need for standards development be identified. Standards development by Technical Committees of CGATS will be submitted for adoption as American National Standards. For the purpose of developing candidate American National Standards, CGATS’ scope includes the terminology, test methods, procedures and specification relating to the field of graphic arts printing. This includes the preparation of material for, and volume reproduction by, production printing processes which include, in particular, offset lithography, letterpress, flexography, gravure, and screen printing. CGATS will also encourage industry specification development by trade organization in the graphic arts industry to be submitted for adoption as American National Standards and, where appropriate, to be submitted through ANSI as candidate International Standards. Chairman: Mr. Raymond Cheydleur Vice Chairman: Mr. Steve Smiley Secretary: Ms. Debbie Orf Web Site: PARTICIPATION Participation in CGATS is open to anyone who may be materially affected by the standards developed by CGATS or who may otherwise have an interest. CGATS especially encourages the participation of the user community. All meetings are open, and minutes and draft documents are readily available upon request.
